    I have one that is bluetooth to cassette. Unfortunately, it has a lot of artifacts during playback. Opted for a bluetooth transmitter that connects to an empty radio channel? Frequency? Works well.

      The bluetooth to FM transmitter works well for you? I’ve tried them several times over the decades, even the expensive ones seem to suck. Maybe not as much as your bluetooth to cassette, I’ve never seen one of those for sale or used one.

        What issues have you had? Mine connects fine without issue and the quality is ok at best but my car speakers aren’t exactly preem. My antenna is even broken off and has a hard time catching regular stations but no issues with my transmitter nor with the bluetooth part of it.

          There’s always some degree of background static, hissing, humming, etc, no matter what channels I tried tuning them to. I don’t expect perfectly clear audio while using an adapter, but those tuner types were always unacceptably bad for that any time I’ve tried them.

      Sounds like an issue with your cassette deck. You should definitely be getting better audio quality with a cassette adapter, mine sounds better than a normal cassette tape. Every radio frequency transmitter I have ever tried has had severe artifacting on the high end (treble), especially prevalent on “S” sounds; they come out really static-y. At any rate, your better off doing literally anything else than repairing your cassette deck if it’s cooked, but its worth a go to try a standard aux cord cassette since they’re under $10.

      I’ve actually opted to record my playlists onto cassette tapes, and I wound up using these more than the aux adapter.
